9999 minutes is the maximum setting for mountretention. 0 probably means

Subject: TSM Tape Retention Time Limitation?
Importance: High


Is there a limitation for TSM device class to set the mout retention to
9999 minutes?  Do we have any option to set the mount retention to be
longer or to disable this function to remain the tape in the tape drive?

Best Regards

Paul Lo
